Lately, I have stopped doing the above unless it is really, really going to help someone. All my life, I’ve been doing it and it has only caused me more pain than gain.
This morning, I got a call for a property agent recommendation. First of all, when you don’t even feel good about a person, would you want to recommend anyone to him or her? I used to work with property agents. I have a whole database of their contacts but recommending any of them, good or bad, to someone who can likely cause problems and reverse those problems unto you is silly. I don’t need unnecessary problems.
That person wasn’t even looking for a property agent himself. He was helping a friend. I forgot to ask him if he’d heard of the Yellow Pages. Even more the reason for me to stay out of it. I don’t care what gain it will get me, I’m just not interested.
Take it from me: Never introduce anyone to someone who only has bad things to say about people. Someone who is not smart or insecure to the point where they can possibly say stupid things that will ultimately come back to haunt you.
As age catches up, I’m becoming more and more cynical like an aged old grumpy fart. Sorry to say but right now, I’m only interested in protecting my own interest.
Pregnancy hormones? Perhaps…..

No, no, I call this stage in life, growing older but wiser!
People from our part of this world, especially, seem to like to be spoon-fed information.
And should this information/recommendation go wrong, they will then have someone to blame.
It’s such a cycle and you are certainly wise to start thinking this way. And seriously, there are really unappreciative people out there, much as I dislike to face it!
